More dudes would benefit from that one-legged step through on the pivot foot that Brown did near the end, but I feel like a lot of guys actively avoid it. A few guys from Europe do it. I vaguely remember Kevin Garnett claiming that Giannis was traveling for using it, like he didn't even think it was legal.

How did the NBA miss that Brown block at the end was actually goaltending?

Both conference finals have basically mirrored each other. Star power is everything when it comes to winning close games.

Should the Pacers re-sign Siakam?

They'll have to max him. I believe it's close to 50mil AAV.

I want to see a new coach in Indy. The stupid full court press is too gimmicky. Carlisle has lost interest also

The Pacers:
-Had a 97.4% chance to win Game 1, with 10 seconds left in regulation.
-Had an 18-point lead midway through the 3rd quarter of game 3, with a 95.3% chance to win the game.
-Had a 90% chance to win game 4, with under 6 minutes left.
-Shot 53% from the floor in Game 1, 52% in Game 2, 50.5% in Game 3 and 46% in Game 4.

Lost all of them

As a Boston fan, I have to tip my hat to Indiana. A sweep is not remotely close to the actual story of how hard that team played.

Do not discount what this experience will do for them going forward. Pacers are a 100% solid unit
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Nonetheless, props to the Celtics for making a couple more shots in the clutch.

Im wondering too but it looks like an odd angle. Usually you dont see blocks that low on the glass
